Elizabeth Barnett , LMHC

Elizabeth Barnett is a licensed mental health professional based in Indiana with more than 21 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She holds credentials as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and as a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor, indicating formal training in mental health treatment and specialized work with substance use and addiction issues. Her practice emphasizes a person-centered, holistic approach that adapts to each individual's needs and goals.

Trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-informed methods, Elizabeth integrates client-centered principles with practical skills-building to help clients move forward. She draws on family systems perspectives and a range of eclectic strategies to tailor care for issues such as grief, compassion fatigue, parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties. Sessions combine support and encouragement with thoughtful challenge so clients can develop lasting tools and greater self-understanding.

Elizabeth approaches therapy as a collaborative process, describing the therapist role more like a guide who helps illuminate paths clients may not yet see. She values work-life balance and gives full attention during live video and phone sessions, and she offers follow-up contact such as chat or email between meetings to reinforce progress and continuity of care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Support

Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's values and goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration and is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and personal growth.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of traumatic experiences, offering structured interventions that help process difficult memories and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to create a personalized path.

Online therapy offers the same focus on progress with added convenience. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow flexible scheduling and easier access to ongoing support. These options make it simpler to integrate therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care and timely follow-up between sessions.
